• This week’s cup ties the priority, says Manchester United manager• ‘Liverpool is big but Seville and Brighton are die or live games’

José Mourinho says Manchester United have a “die or live” week ahead as they attempt to knock out Sevilla from the Champions League and Brighton in the FA Cup.

On Saturday the manager oversaw a 2-1 win against Liverpool that stretched their lead in second place over Jürgen Klopp’s team to five points. Yet Mourinho believes the games against Sevilla and Brighton are more important as they are sudden?death contests.
